Adding running sessions to coach training plan

Hi, today I followed my coach’s suggested workout routine and I’d like to stick with it in the days ahead. Parallelly, I’m also keen on incorporating running sessions into my routine, at a different time. Basically coach suggested workout in the morning and running session in the evening. Any advice on how to integrate them in the app? Thanks,

I think this might work on some days, but if I’m honest, I don’t know how sustainable that is do longer term (train with the app and run every single day)., but this depends hugely on both your Coach session and what kind of running you are doing.

As an example, I’m not a huge runner, but I do cycle quite long distances and there’s simply no way I could do both if I’m doing a long endurance ride.

It’s probably going to be trial and error, so try it out and just pay attention to how you feel and keep an eye on your performances. If your performance starts to drop off, it’s a good warning indicator that maybe you need to rest a little bit more.

I think what would be better is if you could setup dual training sessions, one for resistance and one for cardio. That way you could specify what cardio you want to do and on what days.

Hi, I also have quite similar question, I chose “Strenght” Muscle gaining program for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. but wanted to add some running as a single exercises in mid days, to keep may training days strike, but didn’t found a proper ways, my only trial didn’t counted as a training strike

hey, that’s unfortunately not possible. I’ve been wishing for something like that as well.
You have these options:

  1. choose another journey but compromise with less muscle gain and more stamina based ones which (in some cases and weeks) have runs in them
  2. just do an extra run per week but not having a plan (with freeletics) and doing either a free run or plan something yourself
  3. have another app just for running and thus pay even more for subscriptions and having to compromise how often you train muscles and stamina… (what I’m doing rn…) because many other apps require you to train at least twice per week not seeing that you also do other sports.

What do you mean by “training strike”? The daily 17-min training?
